Even though for a lot of you, the weather is getting cooler, we are heading into warmer weather, which means we will be enjoying a lot more meals outdoors on the braai (barbecue) and these kebabs are a perfect start to the season. Pair these with a Low GI Apple and Cabbage Salad. Yummy.

Nothing like a healthy and super tasty meal! 😉
Are you finding that the Low GI diet is helping curb sugar crashes?
For some peculiar reason I always seem to be the exception to most rules 😀 so I have never felt the sugar lows – it might also well be that I “fill-up” with a few good cups of tea every day (milk no sugar) but know that friends who follow a Low GI diet have great success. I reckon, once you are in a routine, everything seems to fall into place and with a Low GI diet, you will soon find how to curb sugar lows if you get them. Hope this helps.
Nice idea for the marinade. I never put lemon and soy sauce together before. Sounds good!
